On September 12, speaking to reporters, Mr. Luu Ba Mac - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lang Son province - said that the archaeological site of Nguom Sau cave (Bang Mac commune, Chi Lang district, Lang Son province) has just been ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
According to information from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lang Son province, Nguom Sau cave is an archaeological site located in Gia Loc commune, Chi Lang district (now Bang Mac commune). This site was previously ranked at the provincial level according to Decision No. 2284/QD-UBND dated December 21, 2024 of the Chairman of Lang Son Provincial People's Committee.
Nguom Sau Cave is one of the caves located in the limestone mountain range with typical karst characteristics of Vietnam.
Through preliminary assessment, experts determined that the Nguom Sau cave archaeological site not only contains archaeological value but also has important significance for paleontological, stratigraphic, and paleogeological research, demonstrated through the discovery of many fossils on the cave ceiling.
Therefore, this is considered a "rare" archaeological site, not only in Lang Son but also in the northern region of Vietnam.
Nguom Sau Cave has been studied by scientists and confirmed to be a paleontological site containing animal fossils from the late Pleistocene period, followed by the Bac Son culture. Through three expeditions, experts have collected many artifacts associated with the history of the residents of the Bac Son culture.
These discoveries demonstrate a period of formation and development of mankind in the Bac Son period, and at the same time confirm that Chi Lang in particular and Lang Son in general were once the residence of ancient people in Vietnam.
In July 2025, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lang Son province and related units completed the dossier. On September 9, 2025, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision to rank Nguom Sau cave as a national monument.
